Possible to partition a USB Hard drive and still use for a wii?

i just bought an external hard drive (500 GB USB) and i want to be able to partition it so i can have 100 gb for regular computer use and the rest for wii usage, is this possible? Also, can someone point me to a guide where i can learn how to set up the external HDD for the wii?
Thanks,

You have to create an extra logical partition in the drive. Keep 400 Gig as the Physical drive and 100 Gig as the logical drive. They'll be assigned different letters and as long as you choose the correct one in WBFS you can format it as WBFS no problem.

The WBFS drive MUST be primary and MUST be marked as active.

I used Partition Magic 8.0 to accomplish this but Easeus (another partition software) also works, apparently you can do it in Windows too.

hi

What format do you have the partition what formats does the 360 use and why don't you just play the movies on the wii using geexbox that is what i use have all my movies on the second partition on the HDD
